wage increase and they spend that money and put it right back into the economy. those are the workers that eat at the establishments they work at. you might think of walmart wokkers buying more goods at walmart so this is a form of economic stimulus, but aside from the economic argument, chris, when half of all american workers make $27,000 or less that is unsustainable for our economy. it's unsustainable for creating a broad, middle class and it's a moral issue as well as an economic issue. >> kendall who is organizing this today was on my program a couple of days ago and he talked about the fact that it was a moral imperative and we heard about it yesterday who was facing a loss of pension, but he sees these issues in those same kind of moral terms and here's something else that kendall fell said to me earlier this week. >> the thing is they work for some of the richest corporations in the world. mcdonald's made about $5.5 billion in profit and that's after they pay all of the bills and pay all of the salaries and these workers, a lot of them are living in home

there is a lot of debate in general about how it will affect the economy. on the one hand you have fast food workers walking out across the country out of this wendy's here at 11:30 saying they need a raise in their minimum wage to $15 an hour from 7.25. if they were making 7.25 $ and working full time, that is about $15,000 a year. here in new york minimum wage is $8.90, but they are not able to get the full time work. they are capping out at about 35 hours a week. they say $15 is a living wage for them. you have the corporations. that's a non-starter. they will never get a raise like that. it will get passed down to the consumer in terms of higher prices for food. there no hard estimates, but some say the price of a duringer could go from $3 to $3.50. labor economists say that is not that big of a deal for a hamburger. they will pay less for welfare and fast food workers use about $7 billion in welfare and say ultimately if they are making more money, they won't need as much and you will not pay into that system. luke? >> live from brooklyn, thanks for jo

the end result, the economy gets hurt, doctors become harder to see. mr. obama didn't address either of those things today and they are crucial in the debate. also, mr. obama did not address the falsehoods under which the affordable healthcare law was passed. but the new spin from his allies is this: >> all americans know politicians lie. the question is which lies can you live with? and time and time again americans have said we can deal with the lies that president obama tells us because we believe in his heart he has the best interest for the american people. >> so that's what the white house is selling that president obama wants what is best for the folks. and i believe that's true in theory, in theory. he does want what's best for the folks. the problem is his vision is running up against reality. the economy is being held back by his tax policies and by obama care mandates on business. there is no question about that that's not what's best. the medical industry in america will suffer from obamacare. it will be harder for working folks to see a doctor
